Ending Sexual Violence Against Children
Our Core Themes
At Protect Children, we are driven by our mission to create a world free from child sexual abuse and exploitation. Our work focuses on three core themes that guide our mission and shape our efforts in protecting children. All our work is underpinned by research.
We work to prevent harm before it happens, support victims and survivors, and advocate for stronger protections for children. We empower children, families, and communities with the knowledge to stay safe, and we push for legislative and systemic change to create a safer world for every child.
Prevent
We are dedicated to educating children and communities about online safety, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to protect themselves. At the same time, we focus on rehabilitating offenders, aiming to break the cycle of abuse and prevent future harm.
Advocate & Amplify
Through evidence-based advocacy, we work to strengthen the case for improved legislation and practices. By amplifying the voices of those affected by abuse, we strive to influence change at the policy level to ensure stronger protections for children everywhere.
Research
All our work is underpinned by research and evidence. By continuously gathering and analysing data, we ensure that our interventions, prevention efforts, and advocacy initiatives are informed by the latest evidence. This research-driven approach allows us to create meaningful, lasting change in the fight against child sexual abuse.
